Module 3 - Points to Ponder
When designing a project...
You should adapt your building to the terrain. That way it is more natural and you need to do less excavating.
Why is it important to accurately model the land features of your project site with a toposurface?
It is important so that the actual construction workers will have a clear way of going about the project. The bottom level and outdoor things are mostly affected by the toposurface.
Why do stairs follow specific proportions with a set relationship between the tread length and riser height?
Stairs must fit the safety requirements and have enough room for people to use and not hit their head. Modeling can help by showing a clear plan to execute the design with no failures.
